For as long as I can remember, I have been a huge Yankees fan. Like my late grandfather, I have followed the Bronx Bombers every season since I was little. We used to sit in opposite recliners in his condo and watch intently as some of baseball’s greats made history. The players and stadium have changed, but the spirit that the Bronx stadium exudes has not. Sitting in a seat in Yankee stadium is like sitting through a simulator ride at Disneyworld; one always feels like they’re on the field popping the next one out of the park.
This season has been especially exciting since the Yankees are taking it all the way against last season’s World Series Champions, the Phillies. Post-season batting averages and RBI’s have hit the roof for icons like Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and Johnny Damon (formerly of the ultimate enemy, the Boston Red Sox). As I write this blog today, I was hoping to close with a congratulatory hooray, though Philadelphia’s Cliff Lee pitched another stellar game in the City of Brotherly Love last night, and I am left hanging in the balance as the Yanks make their way back home for Game Five.
As the day comes to an end, I chant the Yankees theme song with a confidence that cannot be broken. I know my grandfather is watching over the boys and will bring them the power and endurance they need to make this happen. This is our year to christen the new Yankee Stadium with a World Series Championship flag, and to put the Phillies “Phanatic” to sleep!
"Here come the Yankees! Let's get behind to cheer the Yankees, They're gonna learn to fear the Yankees, Everyone knows they play to win… Cause They're the New York Yankees
